RADCLIFFE WILL INAUGURATE WAVE SUPPLY SCHOOL SOON

A special contingent of WAVES will arrive at Radcliffe within the next two months to set up the only Naval Supply School for women in the nation. Although Harvard and Radcliffe officials would not commit themselves last night, Captain Kenneth C. McIntosh, commanding officer of the Navy Supply Corps, who will probably head the new unit, confirmed the story.

President Ada L. Comstock admitted hearing "rumors," but refused to state definitely that any plan had been worked out. Miss Ruth Davenport, director of Admissions, and the publicity office both denied hearing of the proposed school.

Crimson Receives Tip

The Crimson received the tip last night, and requested the wire news services and the Boston Post to investigate. According to Captain McIntosh, "there will definitely be Naval Supply WAVES training at Radcliffe."

He was not able to give the opening date for the school, or the number of students that will attend it. However, he did reveal that they will live on the Radcliffe campus. After one month's studying at Smith, the first training center for WAVES, which is mainly devoted to preparation for communications work, they will be transferred to Cambridge.

Lt. Commander Mildred McAfee, commanding officer of the sailorettes, was in Cambridge recently looking over the Business School. Presumably she conferred with President Comstock on the details for the program at the same time.

Double Deckers

The invasion of the WAVES will undoubtedly mean that Radcliffe undergraduates will have to follow Smith girls and take to double-decker beds, for the College admitted the largest Freshman class in its history this fall.

The length of the course, who the teachers will be, where the classes will be held, where the officerettes will eat, and all the other details are as yet unannounced. Only the one fact of the existence of such a school has been released. The United Press last night was unable to obtain any official statement from the Causeway Street headquarters of the First Naval District, describing either details or the proposed setting up of the school.
